I’m finding I need something a bit lighter recently.
If I like death in paradise, call the midwife and Shakespeare and Hathaway what else might I like?
Thank you

Wanted - on Netflix. Not directly made for laughs but a bit of a caper.

Listen to Conversations from a Marriage on BBC Sounds. It has Joanna Lumley and Roger Allan playing a long-time married couple and is superb.

Motherland, if you haven't already seen it. (Though it's horribly sad underneath. And I am hunting down the main character's husband with unabashedly murderous intent.)

Brassic is enlivening and absorbing.

If you simply want something lovely, then yes, Detectorists. (GOAT)

Or This Country, which is also brilliant.

The only thing is, the things I've listed are mostly much more 21st c in their values and production than the things you've said you like.

Mandy on the IPlayer is also good but each episode is only 15 mins.
